Welcome to Blockhead's Daily Digest, your go-to source for staying informed on the dynamic and ever-changing world of cryptocurrency. Whether you're a seasoned investor, blockchain enthusiast, or simply curious about the latest developments, we've got you covered with the most comprehensive news and analysis.


Perhaps built on an era of anti-hero television, the crypto community appears to be drawing their inspirations from the wrong sources. Although not quite matching the glamour or finesse of Tony Soprano or Walter White, it seems Kyle Davies and Do Kwon are now gathering a cult following whilst LUNA whistleblower FatMan Terra is somehow becoming the enemy.

Davies, along with his 3AC partner in crime Su Zhu, announced the launch of a new "Justice" token through their newly founded crypto exchange Open Exchange (OPNX). The token specifically targets FatMan Terra, who exposed Terraform Labs.

Do Kwon Breaks Silence But Interviewer Accused of Shilling
The Luna founder has resurfaced in a brand-new news outlet, painting himself as a failure while defending his actions.

Justice tokens will be distributed to holders of RLB, LUNA, LUNC, and OX, as these communities allegedly suffered from Fatman's campaign, which OPNX described as "long-term malicious disinformation."

Despite the trauma caused by Do Kwon and his house of cards, it seems the community is backing Justice Tokens, which saw a price surge of 22%. As a result, FatMan has received threats against him and his family.

Much of OPNX's support comes from alleged revelations from Lucky, co-founder of crypto casino Rollbit, accusing FatMan of spreading FUD, racism and homophobia.

FatMan initially brushed off the attack against him, tweeting "There's no way you guys are turning this into a scam too lmao," but his facetiousness has quickly turned into fear.

"I genuinely fear for the safety of myself and my loved ones. I am receiving new threats hourly. This is not how an honest casino behaves. This is a mafia. I'm not quite sure what to do," FatMan tweeted.

Comments are far from sympathetic towards the anonymous crypto Twitter name. "Why did you start scrubbing discord if you’re so innocent," questioned on tweeter. "real shame you ruined any shred of credibility you ever had," another said.

"This is quite fascinating. I have never seen someone handle a situation as poorly as you have with this. And based on the community we’re talking about here, that’s SAYING something. You seriously need to deactivate and start a new account," advised one Twitter user.

Do Kwon supporters also came out of the woodwork. "I still remember how you wanna hunt down Do kwon and you didn’t care about his safety. I don’t believe what you are saying (again). Looking forward to seeing your pictures ,real name and adress," tweeted one fan.

"Ask @stablekwon for forgiveness," said another.
